invention relates tohair waving tongs, of which the accompanying drawing sheets illustrate different constructional embodiments. V

Fig. 1 is a plane view, Fig. 2 a front View,

and Fig. 3 a sectional view, along the line III-III of Fig. 1 of the first constructional embodiment. Figs. 4, 5 and 6 refer to a. second, and Figs. 7, 8, 9 and to a third constructional embodiment, Fig. 7 being a side Jview, Fig. 8 a plane view, and Figs. 9 and j 10 sectional and end views of the latter.

Figs. 11,12 and 13 show a fourth constructional embodiment. i

The first constructional embodiment according to Figs. 1, 2 and 3 intended to be previously heated and permits of waving the hair by a short application through the hair. It consists of a flap a supporting the nearly reaching the upper side of the'fiap a;

' e represents the handle.

F or'waving the hair, the operator heats "the tongs, and,once the combs c and 0, disengaged, by pivoting,.trom the flap a,conducts the latter through the hair; this having been done, he lets-the combs 0, and 0 fall down and moves the sliding block- (Z along them. The teeth of the combs 0, and 0 main- 7 while shifting,

tain the hair at its end, whilst the teeth (Z work on itsmiddle andmake it waved.

The constructional embodiment according to Figs. 4 to 6 is similar to the above. It permits of waving the hair without previous 7 heating by remaining in the hair for some combs.

The handle 6 has been left out, and the lug o superseded by a small projection located on one of the side The slidablecomb f between the 7 two flaps a, can be motioned by means of a knob It is held in position by the rod 9 engaging the notch of the comb and locked by the spring 9.

To one end of the setting it are hinged the three fiaps'n n a The middle fiap' n is located beneath the comb It, and shows somewhat larger dimensions than the two side flaps. Also this device is intended to be 'used without previous heating. I The-flaps are inserted beneath a portion of the hair and the setting it with the fixed combs-k 7L h and the slidablercombs n a, closed over them. whereby the combs z, and 2', are madeto slide lnan opposite direction to. eachother and Then the 'knob 7c is i, turned contrary to the action of; the spring m'tillthe comb i, is engaged by a bar and held in position by the spring 2' When the waving has been done the device is removed and the two slidable combsare brought back to their initial position by action or the spring m. The constructional embodiment according toFigs. 11 to 18 is similar to that according to Figs. 1 to 3. It consists of a knob r-for f,
